Livingston and Nance are the only 2 who have a remote chance at making the roster at some point. No idea who's playing in this one.

As usual, please limit your posts to this game. Thx.

You need to seek help for your basketball addiction if you watch this.

4:30 on a weekday afternoon, no baseball. Perfect time to watch some hoops

I think Smith makes it. They don't need the roster spot for anyone as it stands. If Horford decides to sign here then AJax gets the axe. Horford and Thanny fill it out.

I don't necessarily watch it, per se. I consider it more looking at it.

Bogo has no chance to ever be on the roster? You've made this determination watching him on his 20th birthday?

Bogo is really skilled, he should start tonight and be a featured part of the offense.

I didn't word that correctly bit I meant this year. When he was drafted I said a year practicing with Giannis and playing for the Herd would be good but he hasn't shown enough to warrant that. He needs another year in Europe and then maybe next year.

I could go either way with Bogi. Initially he looked completely lost and I was ready to throw him back to Europe, but with each passing game he looks less stiff while adjusting to the speed and getting more comfortable. If he goes back to Europe that's not a problem, but him gaining confidence and improving each game does make me wonder if having him around the main roster would benefit him more and accelerate his growth. He seems like a quick learner, but the body will take time to mature along with his game.

I love his competitiveness. He’s a fiery guy, and I think that bodes well for his ability to maximize his opportunity. I’d rather he get on the team, and get used to the culture of the NBA while being around the best player in the world.

Understandable but I don’t hate idea of sending him back and saying you need to add X pounds and we want you to work on x,y,z and we will bring you over next year. But spending time going up against NBA guys might be worth having him here. Undecided

BoobJob needs to work on skill and physical development back in Europe for 1-2 years where he can also get consistent PT with Mega. I don't buy this notion that there's any sort of substantial benefit in a player's development by simple proximity to other NBA players. He's not close to be deserving of minutes on an NBA court and I doubt it's worth taking up a roster spot just so the dude can toil away a cost-controlled year on his rookie deal up in Oshkosh.

It's don't think it's just a benefit to a player's development by being close to NBA players. Being here helps in other aspects, learning NBA travel, nutrition, lifting properly and with purpose utilizing the best strength and conditioning money can buy while still getting reps up with the Herd against other NBA hopefuls. But again, I don't feel strongly one way or the other, but I could see benefits to each side.

It sucks to no end that Euros can't get it off their contracts for 2 way spots. Bogo would be perfect on a 2 way deal.

Don't like Chicago = this a must-win. Just hoping for another decent Livingston performance and, I dunno, maybe some hi-jinks from Jub-Jub.

<AJJ rockets a pass that somehow exits the Thomas & Mack Pavilion and interrupts play in the adjacent Thomas & Mack Center>

Channing Frye: What Andre Jackson, Jr has is feel for the game.

Jake From Greenberg: A strong showing for the third-year man in Vegas.
